Seventh Annual Research Meeting of the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research: Malaria Control and Elimination

Malaria is a leading cause of mortality in Ghana, especially among children under five and pregnant women. The Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) has collaborated with the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP) to meet control and elimination targets. The seventh Annual Research Meeting (ARM) of the NMIMR highlighted the institute's decades-long contributions to malaria control in Ghana. Topics discussed included NMIMR's malaria research and its policy impacts, noting the Institute's support for public health programs that have shaped malaria policies in epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention – including vector control. NMIMR continues to generate scientific data to support Ghana's malaria elimination efforts.
